Abstract: In this paper attention is focused on the free-vibration analysis of rectangular plates with combinations of clamped and simply supported edge conditions. Plates with at least two opposite edges ...

Abstract: The method of superposition is utilized to obtain a solution for the free vibration of thin rectangular plates resting on non-uniform lateral elastic edge supports. The stiffness of the elastic ...

Abstract: A comprehensive study of the free vibration of simply-supported parallelogram plates is conducted. Solutions are obtained by utilizing the superposition method and by taking advantage of symmetry ...

Abstract: An analytical-type solution is developed for the free vibration analysis of rectangular plates with uniform elastic edge support symmetrically distributed about the plate central axes. Both linear ...

Abstract: Exact analytical solutions for free vibration of straight tubes have been known for many years, with solutions for curved tubes being developed more recently. In this paper it is shown how ...

Abstract: The method of superposition is used to achieve a free-vibration analysis of orthotropic cantilever plates resting on point supports. In the initial development of the analysis it is assumed that the supports are symmetrically ...

Abstract: Accurate analytical‐type solutions are obtained for the free vibration of thin rectangular orthotropic plates resting on point supports symmetrically distributed about the plate central axis. Solutions are obtained by the ...
